Comment on Learning Chinese – xuexi Putonghua by J... M...

Unfortunately I receive quite a bit of spam. Now I thought I share this one with you because at least and for once it does fit to the post (of course I have removed the links and email):

I may very well be spending time in mainland China within a year or two, so I’d like to learn simplified Chinese. I’m by no means fluent at this point, but so far I have no complaints about this book. It’s straightforward, concise, and though I haven’t used it heavily for reference so far, it seems to be organized well. If you got here after saying to yourself, “I want to learn simplified Chinese but nobody I know has any suggestions for doing so. Where should I start? Maybe I’ll just do a search on Amazon and see what comes up,” you won’t regret buying this book.

(Note that this book doesn’t teach grammar structures, just characters.)

Dear Joost,

Just to let you know I have actually bought the Samsung and so far I am very happy with it. The battery lasts for way more than 4 hours which exceeds my requirements. I read somewhere that an anti-relfection coating is not really necessary, however, I now think it could be useful especially when working outside…

Hi Carsten, thanks for sharing that with us. Your choice seems to be good. Probably the most important criteria for choosing portables are the effective battery backup time and upgradeability. When on the move, nothing could be more frustrating than running out of battery power. You don’t want to be stuck with the same features either. So these two are really important.

Thanks for the nice post!

[This is probably spam, anyway I think it is quite funny. Carsten]

Are actually talking about Bosch speakers? Well, i have Bosch speakers before with my old school Lancer XL 89. I like this speakers because they have a great sound.

Comment on “The same procedure as every year” by Carsten Tietje

Dear Holger,

Thank you very much for your feedback. I had opened the blog for search engines indeed and I have to say I get quite a few hits through google.

I will have a look at the SEO pack you mentioned and I might install it in the near future.

Further tips are very welcome.

Thanks again,

Carsten

Hi Carsten,

I really like your blog! Nice, clearly laid out theme and very interesting articles … as far as I can judge it as a non-engineer

It is great to have some news from you and that you share your thoughts and experiences in and about China.

Well … hard to say how to increase the number of visitors. First thing I would suggest is to open it for the data hydra/octopus google (private option in Wordpress) – in case you haven’t done that so far – … so that relevant searches may lead to your site. There is also a quite popular plug-in for Wordpress called “All in One SEO Pack” (Search Engine Optimization). I tried it once, but as I am not working with tags it was not really of any use to me.

When linking to other pages or posts, you can also use the trackback function of Wordpress, so that your post is linked (in case this function is supported by the other side) at the referenced post.

Anyway … good luck and keep on blogging!

I wish you two a Happy New Year and hope we might be able to have an olut some time not too far in the future!

Moi moi,

Holger

Comment on “(…) a very general point – when trying to raise efficiency it is always sensible to start with the least efficient processes.” by Carsten Tietje

Thank you for clearly outlining how difficult it is to measure the CO2 emissions, let alone all greenhouse gases. I remembered hearing about Tomatoes grown in England having a higher CO2 footprint than the ones coming from Spain – quick google search resulted in a Guardian article:

“For example, fruit and vegetables trucked in from Spain could actually have a lower carbon footprint than those grown in UK greenhouses which use up lots of energy for heating.”
(http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2007/jun/07/food.foodanddrink)

The following links briefly introduce an initiative in Germany of nine businesses to measure the emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases related to selected products and services. The project currently discusses the methodology of how to measure the emissions together with existing international initiatives. The outcomes are expected for the end of this year…
